16
Q

Where are pulp canals located and what do they contain?

A

Located in root of tooth and contain nerve tissue

17
Q

What are “horns”?

A

Protrusions of the pulp chamber that correspond with the cusps in the crown

18
Q

What is enamel

A

Hardest, calcified tissue in the body made of specialized epithelium.

Covers the anatomical crown

Mineralized

19
Q

What is dentin?

A

Hard but not as hard as enamel. Makes up the bulk of the root and crown.

Mineralized, connective tissue

20
Q

What is pulp?

A

Nerve tissue in the crown and roots

21
Q

Anatomical position of the root

A

CEJ to apex

22
Q

Clinical part of the root

A

The exposed root surface

23
Q

Anatomical part of the crown

A

Incisal edge

Cusp tip
To cervical line/CEJ

24
Q

Clinical portion of crown

A

Incisal edge

Cusp tip to gingival margin

25
Q

Memelon

A

Remnants of love formation on the incisal ridge

Look like scalloped edges

26
Q

Cusps

A

Rounded, prominent elevation in canines (cuspid), premolars (bicuspid) and molars

27
Q

Cingulum

A

The lingual lobe on anterior teeth

28
Q

Height of contour or crest of curvature

A

The greatest elevation on a specific surface of a tooth

29
Q

Ridge

A

Named by location

Linear elevation/ rounded borders of enamel

Anteriors: lingual surfaces of mesial and distal
Posterior: mesial and distal on occlusal surfaces

Lingual ridge for single cusp
Triangular ridge for 2 or more cusps

30
Q

Triangular ridge

A

Formed along the descent from the cusp tip, found on the lingual (anterior) or occlusal (posterior) surfaces

31
Q

Transverse ridge

A

Crosses occlusal surface transversely on premolars and molars

Two triangular ridges come together and completely line up (buccal triangular and lingual triangular)

32
Q

Oblique ridge

A

Crosses the occlusal surface obliquely

Maxillary molars only (1st and 2nd)

Coursing from distal cusp of ridge of Mesiolingual cusp to the triangular cusp ridge of the distobuccal cusp

33
Q

Fossa

A

Irregular depression or concavity

Lingual or occlusal surfaces

34
Q

Developmental groove

A

Groove or line marking the fusion point of the primary parts (lobes) of a tooth

35
Q

Supplemental groove

A

Less distinct, shallow linear depression, supplemental to the developmental groove

36
Q

Pit

A

Pinpoint depression at the junction of developmental grooves or at the groove terminal end
